We highlight two alternative, yet complementary, solutions for harnessing available neural resources for improving integration of artificial limbs (ALs) through embodiment. 'Hard' embodiment exploits neural and cognitive body mechanisms by closely mimicking their original biological functions. 'Soft' embodiment exploits these same mechanisms by recycling them to support a different function altogether.
